Blake thought, 'The person Cecilia is afraid of? Her Achilles's heel?'She might not know Cecilia's weakness, but she knew who could really get under her skin. There was this saying that everyone had one. And for Cecilia, the only person who could keep her in check was Zach.Blake stood by the open door, bowed in gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Stewart. I have an idea of what to do now."Kai walked to the bedside quietly. Seeing Lana was about to wake up, he gently held and coaxed her.Lana asked, "What's wrong?"Kai smiled, "Nothing. Go back to sleep."His gaze deepened as he stared at the illuminated desk lamp, 'Zach, I know you wouldn't back yourself into a corner. Actually, you've orchestrated all of this. Regardless of Cecilia or Madelyn, it's all within your plan. Otherwise, why would I say you're cunning?'Kevin was indeed a part of your plan, a pawn in it. However, you've put all your chips on Blake this time. She's the crucial piece, isn't she? The beginning of tha
"No worries. I can think of other ways to help you. If we get married, I could... I checked out rings when I was at the mall today. I don't know if you'd like it or not." Liam took out a black velvet box from his pocket. When he opened it and took out the ladies' diamond ring, he did not hear Blake's response; only her steady breathing was heard in the quiet room.He stood up quietly from the sofa and knelt in front of her. Blake remained undisturbed. Deep affection filled his gaze as he took out the ring, "I know I might be taking advantage of the situation, but I've had enough of waiting. Blake, no matter what happens in the future, I don't want you to divorce me so easily."It was Liam's selfishness. Indeed, the thought of divorce had never crossed his mind since Blake proposed marriage.Liam lifted Blake from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, and helped her out of her shoes and coat. He then covered her with a blanket, making her roll into the covers, adjusting herself to find
While Liam was driving Blake back to the office, she closed her laptop and put it in her bag. She said, "Just drop me off at the subway station. I might need to go somewhere else later."Liam asked, "Where do you need to go? I can give you a ride."Blake pursed her lips, hesitated briefly, and said, "It's okay. I'm just going to buy something. I'll return to the company in a bit.""Okay." Liam went along with her decision without asking any more questions. He stopped the car at the subway's entrance, and Blake got off without a backward glance. She hurried into the subway station, unaware of the hurt in Liam's eyes caused by her distrust.SereneCare Hospital was completely under Cecilia's control. Blake approached the front desk and said, "Hello, I'm a staff member of Jardin Corporation. I'm here to visit Mr. Jardin. Here is my employee badge; you can take a look."The two people at the hospital front desk exchanged glances. They shook their heads and said, "Did you make an appoin
At that moment, Cecilia walked out of the bathroom after showering. Zach, who was still in a coma, was on the bed near her.Last night, Agustin acted recklessly and actually made love with Cecilia in front of Zach.She had now finally recovered from the exhaustion of the previous night.Joanna said, "It seems like you're right. Those people are getting anxious. Many want Zach to wake up. But Cecilia, aren't you worried that if he wakes up, the first person he'll go after is you?"Cecilia chuckled, "Joanna, you don't know him well. I haven't done anything wrong. During this period when he's unconscious, I've been taking care of him wholeheartedly and have been managing the company for him. He'll know who cares for him."Even if he decides to come after me after waking up from the coma, I'll let him see if he still has any say in Jardin Corporation."Joanna responded, "But you can't deny that Kai has the best chance to bring Zach out of his coma."Cecilia then ended the phone call
Kai casually tossed the scans aside, "With his self-healing abilities, he should be fine. But now he's a vegetable. Whether he can wake up or not depends on his fate."He thought, 'Zach had done many sinful things. It's still uncertain if he can wake up from his coma.'Blake believed she received somewhat good news. Then, she remembered something else and said, "By the way, Mr. Jardin's attending physician is arranged by Cecilia. Her name is Joanna Griver. She gave me this medical report. Also, she wanted me to tell you that your competition with her isn't over yet. She'll come and challenge you again when she has time."From what I understand, it sounds like she wants you to help treat Mr. Jardin with her."Kai remembered Joanna's name. He smiled slightly and then looked at the weak Lana, lying on the bed beside him, "Tell her I'm not interested."Blake nodded, "Okay. I'll convey your message when I have the chance."It's getting late. I won't disturb you."Blake checked the ti
Blake said, "But, Dr. Stewart, if you go to the hospital now, I'm afraid Cecilia will harm you. Moreover, I believe she has people secretly watching you. She'll surely hurt you as soon as you leave the research institute."Kai smoked the cigarette in his hand. Despite the bitterness in his tongue, the nicotine provided him with a stimulating effect. He casually flickered the cigarette ash and said, "Do you really think so highly of her? She isn't the only smart one in the entire Ventropolis."Anyway, she's just a parasite. Can you guess why, despite being the CEO of the company for such a long time, she still doesn't have the highest authority and can't make the most significant decisions in the company?"Blake replied, "Why?"Kai looked at the person next to him and said, "This isn't something I could tell you. You have to find the answer yourself. Why didn't Kevin tell you anything at all?"Blake shook her head, "He kept a lot of things from me."Kai smiled, "You should take th
At midnight in SereneCare Hospital, a nurse diligently checked on Zach, who was lying on the bed, unconscious. Unexpectedly, she noticed the machine monitoring his heart rate decline gradually. She then immediately pressed the emergency call button.The on-duty doctor rushed over, asking, "What happened? What's the current condition of the patient?"The nurse anxiously explained, "His wound still hasn't healed even after a long time. I was just about to administer medication to him when I noticed a significant amount of bleeding from his wound. I've already asked another nurse to fetch blood bags from the blood bank."The doctor responded, "Contact Dr. Griver immediately and ask her to come perform surgery on this patient. This surgery has been delayed for too long; we can't afford any more delays."The nurse replied, "But Dr. Griver mentioned in the last meeting that there's a sharp fragment near the patient's heart. It's not easy to remove, and the slightest mistake could cut thr
After walking out of the elevator, Kai stopped and advised Fred, "Cecilia's triumph won't last long. Regardless, it's Zach's affair. Mr. Turner, I hope you will show her some mercy."Fred responded, "You don't need to remind me about this. You only need to focus on saving Zach's life."Kai replied, "Of course."He then proceeded to the operating room. When the head of the cardiology department, ready to take the lead in the surgery, saw Kai, he greeted him as if he saw his savior. "Dr. Stewart!"Kai patted the doctor's shoulder and said, "Thank you, everyone, for all your hard work when I wasn't in the hospital. We can't waste any time now. Let's quickly complete the surgery as I need to go back. And you, I need you to assist me.""Okay."Kai wore a sterile medical gown before entering the operating room. When he entered and saw Zach on the surgery bed with an oxygen mask, he said, "Long time no see, Zach!"He thought, 'I've never seen you in such a miserable state.'Meanwhile,
